Faith Lutheran Church will host its Eighth Annual Cabaret on October 21 at 5:30 p.m. at 988 Roosevelt Trail in Windham. With a collection of hilarious and witty performances, along with assorted musical acts from talented local musicians and not so talented dancers, the audience will be entertained with a theme of Maine and its “Local Flav-ah and Cul-ah.”
“The
skits and stories definitely fit a title of ‘A Little Local Cul-ah’ which is a
play on the Maine
Cabaret
style is a style of performance that became a popular form of entertainment in
early 19th century France. It often includes a diverse collection of stories,
music, theater and dance while the audience enjoys a dinner simultaneously. The
concept of the cabaret made its way to the United States in the late 19th and
early 20th centuries, with a recent resurgence in popularity.
The
goal of Faith Lutheran Church’s cabaret event is twofold, “Cabaret night is
meant to be a community event,” began Faith Lutheran Church Music Director,
David Hansen. “It’s a fun evening full of laughter for the whole family while
enjoying dinner at the same time - all for a reasonable price. It is less than
a dinner and a movie.”
The
cost of the event is $15 a ticket for adults and $10 a ticket for children 12
and under.
The
second objective for this year’s cabaret is to raise funds for local, national
and international charities. “Proceeds [from this year’s event will] go to support
the church with 10 percent of the funds designated for mission projects like
the Monday Meals Program in Windham and the national and international disaster
relief efforts of Lutheran Disaster Response,” stated Pastor Field.
The
doors will open at 5:15 p.m. with dinner being served at 5:30 p.m. The musical
and theatrical entertainment will begin soon after dinner is served.
